PHP predictions for 2005
Well the year's almost done. I was planning a look back over 2004 but... time and motivation have failed to coincide.
2004 in short: probably the two most significant events were the release of PHP5 last July and the arrival of Planet PHP, back in January, more as a symbol of blogging becoming mainstream in the PHP community. Otherwise it just kept on storming up that hill.
- With the release of 5.0.6 in... July 2005, PHP5 will start making its presence really felt, rolling its way out to web hosts while better known PHP applications will start taking advantage of PHP5 specific functionality.
- In January 2005 PHP will win an award as "Programming Language of the Year, 2004"
- PHP will have a small but useful role in building P2P networks.
- Your mother will offer you her opinion on a Firefox extension you hadn't even heard of.
